AFA Liverpool


After leaving Wales, we stopped off to stay the night and have a short visit in Liverpool. If you are planning a holiday and considering Liverpool, I'd reconsider. There really was not much to see. It currently has the title,"Liverpool, European Capital of Culture" but we couldn't determine why. They do have a neat China town, as you can see in the pix below. It is only a couple of blocks, but has a neat archway at the entrance.
The major attraction is an entertainment complex called the Albert Wharf which did have a Beatles museum, but it looked pretty cheesy, and expensive, so we skipped it. There was an art museum there that had some pieces by a guy Amanda is studying, Klimt, so she and Mom went there. There are tours through John Lennon and Paul McCartney's childhood homes, but that held no interest.
Otherwise the only notable thing was, that night at the hostel, we played Liverpool in Liverpool.
